The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar III, yesterday said politicians are the main problem of Nigeria, stressing that the rising violence in the country had been caused by the undue struggle by politicians to position themselves ahead of the 2015 elections.
He also stressed the need for the federal government to dialogue with the Boko Haram insurgents with a view to securing the freedom of the over 200 schoolgirls abducted in Chibok, Borno State.
Speaking during a chat with reporters at a Ramadan dinner held in his palace in Sokoto Sunday night, the monarch maintained that the rising wave of violence and wanton killing of innocent citizens was geared towards the 2015 elections.
He pointed out that the incessant killing of innocent citizens was all politics, saying politicians were behind the myriad of problems ravaging the country.
He said Nigerians must put aside their religion and ethnicity and come together to tackle the problems of the country. According to him, those perpetrating the killings live among the people and as such there was the need for a concerted effort by all and sundry in order to bring an end to the insurgency.
